Taiwan Allocates 2.7 GW of Capacity to Five Offshore Wind Projects, øRsted Not on List

Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) has released the list of the projects awarded capacity in the latest offshore wind tender round. Five projects have been selected, totalling 2.7 GW in generation capacity.

The projects are the 700 MW Youde (Shinfox), the 800 MW Formosa 6 (Synera Renewable Energy), the 600 MW Fengmiao 2 (Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners), the 360 MW Formosa 3/Haiding 1 (Corio Generation and TotalEnergies), and the 240 MW Deshuai (Enervest).

MOEA started the Round 3.2 tendering process in April this year. Starting in May, the Ministry conducted reviews and selected qualified developers, and then launched the competitive price bidding process which was completed on 9 July.

The bidding rankings announced on 9 July listed six developments, the five mentioned above and Ørsted’s Greater Changhua Northeast as the sixth project. MOEA said last month that there might be five offshore wind farms that would ultimately be allocated capacity due to site overlapping that the Ministry then got onto reviewing before releasing the final decision.

According to MOEA’s press release from 5 August, the selected developers now have until 11 November to submit a formal notice to proceed with their project before signing the contract with the government
